Spring in Budapest

Perfect location with a view of the city and Danube. Staff and accommodations above 4 star - the AC needs a little work as this spring was a above average in temp. Near all public transportation and several good restaurants. Would stay there again in a heartbeat as excellent value.

Fantastic View. Very central Buda location.

We got a free upgrade to Danube View. It was absolutely fantastic seeing the Chain Bridge and Parliament lit up. You even get a little balcony, so you can walk outside and admire the view. The room could have used an extra chair and some drawers. However, these were easily offset by having a full size bath that filled quickly and did I mention the view? Only five minutes walk to the Chain Bridge or the castle.

Art'Otel

First of all the hotel's location was fantastic, looking out onto the river and very close to the travel network. It is on the quieter Buda side of the city but within easy walking distance of the more lively Pest side. The room we stayed in was a Danube view premium room, fairly basic as far as hotel rooms go but clean and tidy, the only disappointment was the number of English T.V channels, there were only two, Bloomberg and BBC World. (I didn't go to watch T.V but when you're relaxing before bed or getting changed it's nice to have the option.) The hotel clientele was of a good standard as most were business parties and conference members. The staff were polite and helpful during the few interactions we had and their English was considerably better than my Hungarian, thank god! As for Budapest in general, it was far more expensive than I expected. I would say easily on par with London and Paris, not a major issue but don't believe all the hype about low cost living as it is very out dated.

Make sure you go on the Danube river boat. We went on the Legenda evening meal cruise, the views were fantastic, the food was great and the staff were very helpful.

Beware the restaurant immediately to the right on exiting the hotel, a place with plush comfy chairs & live piano music. The bill comes with no itemization & the waiter hovers waiting for payment..we feel that we were probably overcharged, but with language difficulties / tiredness did not feel up to addressing it.

Great location with fabulous view

Perfect location for those who like short walk to subway or other major attractions. Views are best from 4th floor and up.

Sometimes best to buy a "ten-pack" for metro travel instead of day pass which has restrictions.

Ein sehr schönes Hotel, super

Ein sehr schönes Hotel, super freundliches Personal. Schwierigkeiten mit dem Zimmersafe wurden sogar spätabends um 22:30 Uhr behoben! Wir hatten Zimmer auf der Donauseite gebucht und genossen den Blick auf das Parlamentgebäude. Strabe-Haltestellte vor der Tür, Metro gerade 200m entfernt. Uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung!
